GF should nerf their stale offensive mons. Bloodmoon Ursaluna is lame unga bunga high BP move
you don't. PvP is a bonus feature for people that play alongside their friends, the meat of the game is in the singleplayer experience.
>the meat of the game is in the singleplayer experience.
lol EL OH FUCKING EL The single player has been barebones since the jump to 3D. Where are the dungeons? Where is the RPG experience? You seriously saying shiny hunting and grinding for multiplayer is MEAT? The single player exists to funnel people into paid online features. There is no meat. It’s all rancid slop masquerading as food. Enjoy your food analogy, fanboy.
games like SWSH and SV have at minimum three times the amount of content of games like RBY and RSE if you look at playthrough completion times. your criticism has nothing to do with actual tangible measurable reality if you're going to insist on comparing 2D to 3D.
gen 8 shill here, can agree that gen 8 has more gameplay things than gens 1, 3, and maybe 4 if you don't count HGSS. I just wish they ported contests :c
>the meat of the game is in the singleplayer experience.
Is that why there's no longer any postgame except money grinding through the Academy Ace Tournament, Shiny Hunting, Mark Hunting, Raids and Ogre Oustin' (DLC Only)?
They should do top 10 bans more often and wait longer before adding formats that allow Paradox/Legendaries.

Last gen it took quite a while I don’t know why they’re rushing to restricted format this gen
Automatic balance changes every week based on usage results.
just make Pokemon Stadium Special and rebalance everything
I do not care at all about competitive pokemon and never, ever will. I feel sorry for people who are into pvp in a game that doesn't even remotely consider pvp a primary feature. there are thousands of games out there that do, and they pick one that is centered around single player adventuring and collecting cool monsters, where trading was considered long before battling other people. and they wonder why they are upset and why the game is completely unbalanced for it.
>game that doesn't even remotely consider pvp a primary feature
This is a massive cope by people who are bad
>20-40 minutes of switching out the same 10-15 pokemon as everyone else
>fun
I hear similar things from people who play MOBAs and BR games who have holes in their walls and break a piece of hardware every few weeks.
at least with mobas and battle royale games they are actually designed with pvp being the priority feature, unlike pokemon
>the meat of the game is in the singleplayer experience.
Outside of a draft league bracket, you can't. That said, there are so many ways to customize Pokemon that even when two people have the same Pokemon, they're rarely identical. Trying to figure out "oh he's running this much speed and this much bulk" or "oh he's using x item and y coverage move" is part of the fun.
Add a third format in Battle Stadium, Special. The rules for Special would change every two weeks, so a meta could never stabilize. They could be anything too.
>little cup rules
>one type is banned
>no hold items
>no status moves
>1v1 single pokemon
>etc.
It would simulate the delightful shitshow that is the first two weeks of a new format for the people that like that.
Battle Frontier with online co-op and hub.
Do monthly competitions with different whitelists. Maybe one month it's new Paldea mons only, then the next is only pokemon who are less than 100 lbs in weight, etc. It would mix up the meta, while also still having the standard vgc rules available for vgcfags.
They did these last gen and got basically no participation
Ban all legendaries. A little idea I've had since I was like, I don't know, twelve years old.
Hilarious pic
>Thread is just “ban strong Pokémon because I’m bad”
Get gud
legendaries raise the skill floor too high for many non-legendary mons to be able to compete, not even mentioning how they warp the tier's optimal compositions and strategies around their presence
so they not only outclass, they also dictate
you can play around legendaries with a smattering of underpowered mons as options, but you blow your options up so much wider by banning all legendaries, which were never intended to be bromons anyway, and battling with bromons the heart of the series's experience
Skill issue.
